Ahead of NBCUniversal‘s forthcoming spin-off from Comcast, the media company has named Christopher Halpin as chief financial officer.
Halpin, who had been serving as COO and CFO of People Inc., will report to Comcast Co-CEO Mike Cavanagh, who is slated to become CEO of NBCU after the separation. Halpin will start his new post on September 8.
Comcast has said the split with NBCU should be completed by next summer. As it did with Versant, which is now a separate, publicly traded company, Comcast will be taking steps toward establishing NBCU as its own stand-alone entity.
